Due to the high rate of drug resistance among malignant melanoma cases, it seems necessary introduce an efficient pharmaceutical approach treatment. For this purpose, Curcumin (Cur) and Chrysin (Chr), two natural anti-cancers, were co-encapsulated in PLGA-PEG nanoparticles (NPs), characterized by DLS, FTIR FE-SEM investigated for their effects on MMPs, TIMPs TERT genes expression C57B16 mice bearing B16F10 tumours. The results showed that MMP-9, MMP-2 significantly decreased all treated...

There are increasing concerns regarding the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos (CPF) on human health. Curcumin (CUR) is a yellow pigment isolated from turmeric ground rhizome Curcuma longa Linn., which has been identified as an antioxidant agent. This study was designed to examine protective effect CUR and vitamin E (Vit E) CPF-induced lung toxicity. Rats were divided into seven groups: control, CPF (13.5 mg/kg, orally), + (100 300 respectively, α-tocopherol E, 150 intraperitoneally),...
